Hi Guys
Could you educate me here.

Q1. If Dave is boosting to 45"Hg then am I right that that is ~22psi.(now I take it that is referenced to static at whatever altitude Dave quoted)

Q2. Now lets say a 13B with a wonderful intake has 100%VE and makes x horsepower at 6K RPM.
If we boost that same 13B at 14.7psi after a really nice intercooler and spray bar that drops the temp to ambient (hypothetically speaking).
Will this then double the charge mass and therefore the potential energy and so produce 2x horsepower at 6K RPM?

If this is really dumb thinking. My apologies.
I deeply appreciate the great minds and practice on this list.

Cheers
